Hi Mike, natural latex is dust mite, mold and mildew resistant. Dust mites can not live in natural rubber, so you should be ok provided it still feels fine 🙂

Hold me back or turn me loose? Buy or continue with the same? We have an Englander natural rubber mattress eastern king bought in 2001 per tag. Nearly takes an African elephant with tusks to turn over due to weight.
Using thick mattress topper(s) changed out over time… it continues to lack smells and still feels fine. My imagination worries some creepy rubber-loving bacteria or mite has overcome the resistance of the rubber and now lives within. I can almost hear it’s breathing. aaa-chaa, aaa-chaa, aaa-chaa. Hear it?

Our Queen bed (New at the time), was given to us by a brother just prior to leaving for Australia in 1982… x4 boys later (whom have all left home and had families of their own)… this bed still resides in our room without me… the other owner of our abode (with back pains and all), lives in Lala Land… Go figure!@#$%^&*… who/what needs to be replaced!!!

I rotate my mattress every 3 months. It makes it last longer. It s 13 yrs old.

I’ve been told I need one, but I think it was a sales pitch. We bought our craftmatic bed 10 years ago. It’s had a 4″ foam on it from the get-go and a mattress protector to boot. I think it’s basically a new mattress, right?

In reply to Judy Patak.

Has the mattress been used daily for 14 years? By yourself, children, or a couple? Have you used a mattress protector all the while, or has it been cleaned regularly? There are many variables that determine the longevity of a mattress. 14 years with light usage and good maintenance is fine to keep provided you’re not waking up with joint pains.

My mattress is a Stearns and Foster. I’ve been told that I should get a new mattress because it is 14 years old. It doesn’t sag. It’s not torn. In fact it looks like a brand new mattress. You can still lay on the side of the bed and it is still firm. I’m trying to figure out if I really need a new mattress.
